chris christie, who has been pretty vocal about an issue that he brought to light himself, his own weight. take a listen to how he's responding to a former white house doctor critique his fitness. >> if she wants to get on a plane and come here to new jersey and ask me if she wants to examine me and review my medical history, i'll have a conversation with her about that. until that time, she should shut up. >> admiral, i want to ask you, the temperament of chris christie as a politician to be thrown onto a world stage. do you think he's got that under control? >> you know, i have seen governor christie and i don't know him, speak up very well and forcefully for his constituents like in hurricane sandy. in this case, that white house staffer is a retired navy admiral, and i think she spoke up in support of him. i think that kind of response was, quite frankly, and some of his responses would make me feel uncomfortable as a citizen, but that doesn't preclude him from being a very viable presidential candidate, but in a sense i think to some degree that as this goes forward, whether i

a great gig. >>> okay, this morning chris christie firing back at the white house doctor, former white house doctor who said she was worried that he would die in office. this morning, she's responding after a -- after she went on tv and voiced concern that the governor's weight might cause him to die in office. he said basically shut up. it's kind of turned into a little bit of an ugly fight, hasn't it? >> reporter: yeah, i think it's safe to say that chris christie would like a second opinion. he responded to former white house physician connie mariano's warnings about the new jersey governor's health by calling the doctor a hack and, as you just said, telling her to shut up. the back and forth started earlier this week when he appeared on the late show with david letterman. during the interview as he was joking about his size, christie, as we all saw, took a bite from a doughnut. that concerned former white house doctor connie mariano who has treated three different presidents and she told me christie could die in office if elected president. she called his weight issue a ticking tim

, too. >>> also later, from laughter to outrage. new jersey gofr your chris christie joked around on late night tv, joking about his weight. but now you'll see what turned from laughter to anger the governor speaking out now against some folks who were concerned about his weight. >> you'll hear what he told them to do with his opinions. >> he ain't bashful. >>> now to a new study, just before valentine's day that reveals what singles look for in a potential mate. it's a pumped up body? or something else. we'll tell you. >> everyone ss that checklist of, i need this, this, and that. a little bit of that. >> and you want chris carr kardashian -- >> kim, let's be clear. >>> forecasters warn this could be historic. >> it's actually two storms that are converging into a giant system, whipping up 50-mile-an-hour winds and two feet of snow. it could rival only monster blizzards. new england is expected to be hardest hit with the snow coming down tomorrow evening. >> airlines have started waiving rebooking fees. carriers are keeping a close eye on the forecast before announcing what could

. andrea, good morning. >> good morning. hi, mika. >> want to get straight into the news. chris christie's back in the news. he kind of fired back at that white house doctor who made some really kind of inappropriate comments about his weight. >> yeah, did you hear about that? >> i thought. i thought it was great what he said. it's exactly the conversation that we don't need to have about weight and obesity. we need to have a better one. hopefully this will lead to that at some point. it's what i'm writing about. >> so this doctor says that she's afraid chris christie's going to die. >> yeah, and she goes on camera and says that. >> and then chris christie fires back. >> said "shut up." >> you know, we shouldn't be talking about that. >> why? >> because there's much bigger news out there. >> what's that? >> what do you think? everybody's talking about it. >> lindsay lohan. what? >> she's broke. poor lindsay lohan is broke. and she's moving back home. and i don't know. i want to help her. can we start a lindsay lohan fund in >> no, we really can't. >> can we put donny in charge of it? >>

's fair to say that new jersey's republican governor, chris christie, has just about had it with everyone talking about his weight. >> as abc's dan harris reports, the only evidence needed to prove it was to listen to what christie said just yesterday. >> this is just another hack who wants five minutes on tv. >> reporter: chris christie, displaying his famous new jersey candor, reacting to former white house doctor connie mariano, who on cnn called the governor a time bomb. >> i'm a physician more than i am a democrat or republican. and i worry about this man dying in office. >> she must be a genius. >> reporter: the governor questioned how the doctor could diagnose him from her office in arizona. >> and it's completely irresponsible. my 12-year-old son comes to me last night and says, dad, are you going to die? >> hey. bring it, fat boy. >> christie said he's not sure if he's going to run for re-election next year. he said, i'll collapse that bridge when i come to it. >> reporter: christie's weight has been a constant issue, which he has handled both with humor, days ago, eating a dough

bring up chris christie because he is sort of starting to redefine the republican message in his own way and maybe i thought eric cantor would take a page from the chris christie playbook. >> well, there were no danish, no doughnuts at our interview this morning but he is trying to redefine the message for sure, and that's what he's going to talk about in an interview later at a speech later today. as we speak, carol, he is talking about his new message idea to rank and file republicans, but the gist of it is, he's saying that he understands the election results that most groups, key demographic groups went for the democrats, not for republicans, and so he's trying to make the republican message more accessible to everyday average americans, and so we talked a lot about the fact that he is a father, that he's a family person, and that others in his caucus are as well, but of course one of the main issues in front of this congress is guns, and of course there are a lot of parents out there who are worried about gun violence in their schools so i asked about that and about whether or not h

. >> chris christie's top strategist tells the new jersey star ledger he hasn't called me. will we see christie giving his blessings to geraldo, a candidacy by geraldo, or is that just fat chance, michelle goldberg? what do you think? >> i would be surprised because chris christie, for all my disagreements with him, does seem to love the state of new jersey. but i'm not sure how many chris christie's endorsement matters compared to fox news' endorsement. should he run, it will be just another step in the consolidation of fox news and the republican party. >> michael, you know, name recognition. he could probably raise a little bit of money. he can handle the media. he is an advocate for people in a sense. journalistic credentials a little shaky at times. would he be a potential winner, do you think? >> you know, ed, i think geraldo is a smart guy. i do his radio show sometimes, and, you know, i've talked with him. he knows issues. he knows policy. he is pretty moderate. he is pro-choice, which a lot of people may not know yet. now, that may kill him in a primary, even in new jersey. re
